Home Service Marketing Materials: Build Your Printed Kit

Which Piece Should Do Which Marketing Job?

Give each piece one job. The truck is for reach, the yard sign is for proof, and the door hanger is for the offer.

The truck graphic reaches everyone who drives past, all day, everywhere you work. It needs the name, the trade and a phone number big enough to read from the next lane. The yard sign is proof: it tells the street that a neighbor chose you. It needs the name, the trade and one line like Another Job by Tallowbrook Plumbing. The door hanger carries the offer, such as a seasonal tune-up price or a free estimate, and it is the only piece with room for details.

Do not ask one piece to do all three jobs. A yard sign with a coupon, a service list and a website is a sign nobody finishes reading from the car.

What Makes a Job Site Yard Sign Useful?

A useful job site sign says who is doing the work, what the work is, and how to call. Three lines, readable from a car moving slowly down a residential street.

Use an 18 x 24 inch coroplast sign at $64.99 for most homes, and the 36 x 24 inch size, from $79.99, for a corner lot or a busier road. Order double sided if traffic passes from both directions. Always ask the homeowner before you stake a sign, and pull it when the job ends or when they ask.

Keep a stack in the truck with stakes. A sign that rides along goes up at every job; a sign that stays in the shop does not. Our job site yard sign guide covers wording and placement in depth.

How Should You Plan a Door Hanger Route?

Start at the job and work outward: the same street first, then the streets that see the truck come and go. Those homes have just watched your crew work, so the hanger lands with context.

1. Mark the job address on a map.
2. Cover both sides of the same street.
3. Add the nearest cross streets the truck used.
4. Skip homes with a no soliciting sign.
5. Hang on the door handle only, never in a mailbox.

Some cities, HOAs and gated communities limit door-to-door distribution. Check the local rules before you send a crew, and read our guide on whether door hangers are legal for the questions to ask.

Do Crew Shirts Belong in the Kit?

Crew shirts belong in the kit once the truck, signs and hangers are working. A homeowner opening the door to a stranger relaxes when the shirt matches the truck in the driveway.

A custom printed t-shirt starts at $42.79, with production in 1 to 5 days. Put the logo on the front and the phone number large on the back, so the crew advertises while they carry tools from the truck. Our staff shirt guide compares tees and polos.

Should You Buy a Marketing Kit or Order Pieces Separately?

Buy a kit when you need signs, door hangers and cards at once and want the design done for you. Order pieces separately when you already have some of them or need a different mix.

The 100 Sign Marketing Kit is $1,154.99 for 100 double-sided 12" x 18" coroplast yard signs, 100 wire H-stakes, 250 double-sided 3.5" x 8.5" door hangers and 100 16pt business cards, and everything in it ships together. Design is included in the price. Printed in the USA in 5 to 7 business days and shipped nationwide, flat $10 shipping to any US address. Kits also come in 200, 300 and 500 sign sizes, and our 100 vs 200 vs 500 sign kit comparison shows what changes at each step. Truck magnets and shirts are separate orders either way.

What Should You Check on the Print Proofs?

Every product comes with a free digital proof, and nothing prints until you approve it. Check the phone number digit by digit on every piece, because one wrong digit repeats across hundreds of hangers and a year on the truck.

Then check the size of the phone number on the truck and the sign: about 1 inch of letter height per 10 feet of reading distance. Check that the logo, colors and company name match exactly across the magnet, the sign and the hanger. And check the offer on the door hanger: a price or a deadline that will change belongs on the hanger, never on the truck.

How Do You Order the Marketing Kit?

Order the vehicle magnets in the size that fits your doors, the 18 x 24 inch yard signs with stakes, and the door hangers in the quantity your routes need. Or order the 100 Sign Marketing Kit and get signs, stakes, hangers and cards in one box with design included.
